Definitely, clear lacquer is the only way to go.

Dr. Gaddy's doctoral work had nothing to do with Metallurgy.
Out there doing it best I can.

The only thing that removes case colors in use is abrasion! Sunlight has NO effect! Rerrazzi and Kreighoff coat their case harden areas with a clear coat. All the old makers (Parker , Fox, LCS ect.) coated their actions. If you maintain the clear coating the colors will remain forever. By the way I was with Oscar during part of the tests, sun = no effect.

Most of the observed CCH wear comes from people wrapping their hands around the receiver when they carry the thing about. Look at a dozen guns, trap or field, and you will see what I mean.
I just can't buy into sunlight not taking a toll on colors. Areas behind the balls or in front of the trigger guard typically show fading, but these are not areas that get handled. I have some very old closet queens that get taken to the traps regularly, but the colors are still new, and I thank that dark old closet/safe for that.
Ever the paranoid, I typically lacquer any new acquisition.

Dr. Gaddy's doctoral work had nothing to do with Metallurgy. You are correct about that, given that his BS, MS and PhD were in electrical engineering, but he did teach metallurgy at University of Illinois: Gaddy taught courses in physical electronics, including undergraduate metallurgy and semiconductor electronics courses.

I personally prefer Renaissance Wax for my external firearms protection. I have also used Flitz's Gun Wax in the past with good results. The nice thing about wax as opposed to lacquer is they can easily be removed if required with turpentine.
Wax will not damage case coloring but stay away from anything abrasive like Flitz's polish or Simichrome which will remove case coloring.
